House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defeated Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan ‎to retain her post as the top elected Democrat in the House during a closed-door meeting Wednesday. The final vote was 134 to 63 for Pelosi. "I am proud that my bid for Democratic Leader pushed our members to have these tough family discussions about our future and how we win back the majority in 2018," Ryan said. Pelosi, showing confidence, declined to address the caucus before the vote, letting surrogates talk on her behalf. "My heart is broken that we didn't win the White House this time," she said. "We know how to win elections, we've done in in the past and will do it again."
